| description | This thesis describes an investigation of the vibration of a system comprising a thin
elastic plate, acting as a separator, between a fluid and gas column contained in a
cylindrical container. The intention is that the plate will constrain the movement of
the liquid to one end of the container, preventing it from splashing around the
container enclosure, hence improving the stability of the system. However in general
systems involving fluid-structural vibration interaction, it has been shown by
previous researchers that there exists a critical condition where the fluid and structure
are strongly coupled together. At this critical condition the levels of vibration
induced kinetic energy of the plate and fluid are comparable. This strong couple
characteristic may affect the stability and structural health of the whole coupled
system especially the thin elastic plate. In this thesis, critical vibration characteristics
of such system are studied.
The theoretical analysis of vibration interaction of liquid-structure-gas system is
presented. The values of natural frequencies and relative energy distribution
throughout the system obtained theoretically have been verified with the values
obtained by finite element analysis and by laboratory experiment where appropriate.
Then, the characteristics of strong coupled vibration interaction of liquid-structuregas
system are investigated around three possible strong coupled conditions. Results
have shown that for a liquid-structure-gas system, strong couple vibration occurs if
the system fulfills either of the following conditions: |
